Korrode – New Game Preview
Korrode is a brand new game that I have just finished. You get to play the part of entropy as a racing rust spot zipping around corroding metal bolts. It’s a level based racer that combines aspects of puzzle and time trial agility games. My initial seed of an idea for the game was about crossing [...] Continue reading
A 30-day Funeral Quest tourney begins .. RIGHT NOW!
You’ve probably heard the legends of a mystical multiplayer Flash game that stunned all who played, a game that dared cover a topic so simultaneously wonderful and terrible that it changed all who touched it. But alas, it’s been offline for years, a distant memory that the elders would whisper of in hushed voices… UNTIL [...]

Not dead yet!
So, looks like I haven’t been posting anything here in five months. That’s not too good. Making the PSP version of Tiny Hawk has taken a lot longer than it was meant to. There are multiple reasons for that, but I’m not going to go too much into t… Continue reading

Tough decisions, interesting beginnings
So, if you’ve been following this blog for a while (like a year) you might recall last year’s “October Challenge” game called “Stealth Target” that I attempted to release as a paid beta game, which I then issued refunds for and then made a few vague efforts to revive and .. well .. I mean, [...] Continue reading

The lol factor, super keyword, and overridable members
C++, my secret love I loled myself again internally when I realized I was – after thoughtful considerations – not really satisfied with my micropass system. It is hacky, often unadapted, and in the current implementation, terribly inefficient. And it … Continue reading →

The last time I wrote about Stop That Hero! development was in July. Here’s a quick summary of the work I’ve done since then:

VVVVVV Review
I recently picked up the Humble Indie Bundle 3 while it was available last August. It’s a great deal and a good way to support independent developers and charities. As part of the bundle, I received the popular, retro, gravity-twisting VVVVVV by Terry Cavanagh. The game is set some time in the distant future when space flight and teleportation [...]
